Overview
We welcome you to our 2-year MSc program Applied Geosciences at KIT.
You can choose in our applied Master program from three profiles according to your interests:
- ERS (Sustainable Energy, Raw Materials & Storage)
- HYDRO-ING (Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology)
- MiG (Mineralogy and Geochemistry)
Since the establishment of the Karlsruhe University in 1825, Applied Geosciences has continuously contributed to the further development of KIT in research and teaching. At Germany's oldest University of Technology, we focus on the sustainable use of the environment, above and underground.
Our applied study program is hosted within the Engineering Faculty of Construction-Geo-Environment.
